• [Raven leaves the house before dinnertime] 

  Victor Baxter : What did I tell you? I said I'm making a special dinner in honor of Black History Month.

  Raven Baxter : No disrespect, but I want to celebrate getting this job. So I'm black... and I'm history.

• Chelsea : [filling out application]  Special skills, none, experience, none, why you want this job, don't know.

  Raven Baxter : Hey Chels you might want to put a positive spin on that application.

  Chelsea : Well, what did you write?

  Raven Baxter : For special skills I put down design my own clothes.

  Chelsea : Okay, special skills can whistle through nose, I can do that.

• [after Raven told her parents about her vision] 

  Victor Baxter : Nobody discriminates against my baby. We're gonna bust 'em, we're gonna shut 'em down by any means necessary.

  Tanya Baxter : Okay, slow your robe, Malcolm. What's our evidence? Our psychic daughter had a vision?

  Raven Baxter : Let's just drop it.

  Tanya Baxter : Oh whoa-whoa-whoa. Now wait a minute, I didn't say give up.

  Raven Baxter : Mom, even if they did believe me, I'm just one person. I can't change the world.

  Victor Baxter : Raven, if Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King had the same attitude, we'd still be sitting in the back of the bus.

  Raven Baxter : So, what are you guys saying? I can fight this?

  Tanya Baxter : Absolutely! If this woman is going to admit that she's a racist, you've got to be there to hear her say it.

• Eddie Thomas : Y'all remember my friend, Freddy, from the second grade?

  Raven Baxter : Whatever happened to him?

  Eddie Thomas : Well, uh... One day while Freddy and I were at the park, his dad came charging over all of a sudden. Snatches Freddy away, started yelling at him, told him he's not allowed to play with black kids.

  Raven Baxter : [outraged]  What'd you do?

  Eddie Thomas : What could I do, Rae? I was just nothing, but a little kid. Before that day, I never thought of Freddy as different, or white. He was just my friend.

  Raven Baxter : I always knew about racism, but... I never knew how much it could hurt.
